Hey Broncos fans. Do you reckon Walsh calling the ref a c*** is better or worse than Montoya's homophobic spray at a diving Feldt that cost him 4 weeks on the sideline?
This will be an interesting test of the judiciary - there will be a lot of kids that are idolising Walsh right now that saw the way he spoke to an official. In my view they will have to come down hard for that fact alone.
A lot of us here think that a bit of a fall down to earth will help Reece with his career longevity. His ability to be a generational player will depend on him keeping his feet on the ground.
We're going with the truth is a complete defence theory.
But seriously, I suppose it depends on if the club can prove it wasn't directed at the ref. Then he should get week or two (that's what Brandon Smith got for calling the ref a cheat last year ... but he got the Storm discount).
IMO, a homophobic slur is worse.
The media of course will ensure he doesn't get a fair hearing.
